Local Users — Configuration fields
Field
Description
User Name
Specifies a unique user logon name. There are no
restrictions on the Nortel SNAS 4050 regarding acceptable
user names. However, if you want the user name in the
local database to mirror the Windows login name, observe
Windows username conventions (for example, keep the
length to no more than 32 characters).
When the client attempts to log on to the Nortel
SNAS 4050 domain and local database authentication is
applied, the client is prompted for the user name and
password you define for the database.
User Password
Specifies the password that applies to the new user. To
only use the local database for authorization after an
external authentication server has authenticated the user,
enter an asterisk (*).
Change User Group
Specifies the group to which the new user belongs. The
group must exist in the Nortel SNAS 4050 domain. The
group name is used for authorization.
